I look at this design and see a echo of a human body that has had its skin removed and replaced by metal. Very stylized, human body, with bits of metal ribs sticking thru and a massive abdominal muscle. And while the arms do have a bit of shoulder muscle look, they also look to be robotic or cybernetic arms. And I think the legs look robotic and artificial as well. It makes me think we have more than just a brain inside. A human torso and head, within a life support shell,mounted on robotic legs and artificial arms.

What would I have liked to see? I would still love to see bits of the human inside there, a decaying bit of flesh. Something to remind us what these creatures sacrifice to save themselves from destruction long ago on Mondas.

Personally, I am not shocked by this. Beyond an animated version using the voices of the actors, it would not really work. Unless the actors just play different parts or something. But get some Classic companions at least!
